One of the biggest keys for any business leader comes from an understanding of the ego and how it tends to put us on a trajectory in the wrong direction.
Ego Edges Goodness Out of your life.
Why? The ego has illusionary needs, which can create a waste of your time and energy. The ego also has the need to be right or to be offended. It can cause you to feel a need to be separate, inferior, or superior. Ego can cause fear, guilt, or shame. It will have you searching for recognition for your achievements, instead of simply being happy with what you have achieved.
One of our biggest problems comes when we get caught living in this ego-based consciousness and accelerate into the negative emotions we are experiencing.
Our ego causes fear, which is followed by fear-based reactions. Those fear-based reactions are what cause us to end up off-track.
